A Reawakening,
By jaj12361@aol.com (Phila., PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Coming Home to Ourselves : A Woman's Journey to Wholeness (Paperback)
For thousands of years, woman has been the primary caregiver, not only to her children but to everyone in her world as wife, daughter, sister, neighbor and friend. We were taught to suppress our own needs in order to have more to give to others. In Coming Home to Ourselves, we discover that in fact the opposite is true. When we give from a place of emptiness we just become more empty. We must first create and maintain a reservoir of love and life energy from which to draw. Then we can give to others with joy and love, from a place of abundance. Jan Forrest shows us that by making small changes in our daily lives we can find the time to reawaken the spirit of joy within by giving ourselves the gift of ourselves.

A heart-felt 'how-to' journaling book for women.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Coming Home to Ourselves : A Woman's Journey to Wholeness (Paperback)
Jan Forrest's recent book, Coming Home to Ourselves: A Woman's Journey to Wholeness has helped me to begin again with a journey I began twenty years ago. No matter where a woman is on her own "spiritual journey," this book can help to remotivate and reinspire setting out again on the path that WILL lead to wholeness. Jan Forrest speaks with the authority of someone who's learned from past experiences and wants to share what she's learned with others walking a similar path. Her voice has integrity and purpose as well as calm assurance that all IS well within, we just need to be quiet enough to connect with ourselves, our authentic selves. I would recommend Coming Home to Ourselves: A Woman's Journey to Wholeness, to any woman who wants to do just that, reclaim the pieces of her life and use them to create a beautiful collage of who she is as a "whole person" and what she hopes for in the depth of her heart and soul.

By A Customer
This review is from: Coming Home to Overselves: Journaling to Wholeness (Paperback)
Coming Home to Ourselves should be required reading for any woman who is in crisis. It provides an excellent sense of well-being and is the first step to recovery.The book offers 168 pages of nurturing and insight. It provides more healing than a warm bath,a manicure and a call to your best friend. Coming Home to Ourselves is a must read for any woman.
